upcoming grant deadline: 05/15/2024
Eight week residency grants are available for artists to create new public art projects for our town, Rosendale, New York. Temporary sculpture, installations or interventions for accessible sites will be considered. Work must be viable for four months. This new opportunity is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and is intended to highlight the economic impact artists have in their community.
In addition to designing/creating and implementing new work, the artist must develop opportunities for the public to engage with the work throughout the development and installation of the project. Artists will be matched with a regional artist and business partner to help make connections that will enhance the public engagement aspects of the project.
Rosendale was founded in 1844 to support the cement mining industry. Our mile long Main Street has a river along one side and a steep jumble of rocks, Joppenburgh Mountain, along the other. Bridging the river is a tall rail road trestle that has been made into a rail trail. The rail trail passes directly in front of the WSW studios, which are housed in the former Rosendale Cement Company store, constructed in 1886. WSW’s studio is mid way along the 23 mile trail and the only public access site along the route.
The grant will include: $2,800 stipend, housing, technical support, a travel subsidy, studio space, and the dedicated staff at WSW.
Postmark Deadline: February 1st
